Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode frowned and walked toward Anne.

Anne only smiled and straightened her body, looking up at Rhode.

Rhode said nothing and quickly stretched out his hand to touch her face. Feeling Rhode’s touch, Anne closed her eyes. After that Rhode’s hand gradually went down, and Anne was breathing harder. After that, she suddenly screamed and put both of her hands in front of her chest at the same time.

“Leader, it hurts!”

“This is punishment.”

Facing Anne’s complain, Rhode only waved his hands and smiled. He laughed at Anne, seeing her gloomily rub her chest. Just now, he ruthlessly pinched it, making it swell.

“A little girl like you is too inexperienced to learn this kind of thing.” Rhode said while looking at her body. Hmm… that’s right, she’s still too young.

“Ah… I failed.”

Anne twitched her mouth, rubbed her chest, and complained while taking the clothes beside her.

“Anne heard that the bread with berry jam here is very good… That’s why… Leader…”

“… Just for this?”

“It’s very delicious! Leader, will you buy it for Anne? Will you? Anne will let you see everything!”

“…”

What could he say?

He said nothing.

In the end, because Rhode had seen “everything”, he had to grant her wish. At the same time, he warned her not to do something like this anymore. After she agreed and they dealt with this unimportant things, Rhode told her about his plan. However, clearly, the fragrant berry jam bread took all of her concentration. Rhode had to waste a lot of time to make her understand his plan. After hearing it, Anne didn’t oppose it and wasn’t too bothered by it.

“No problem, leader. I will do anything leader asks me to do.”

After saying it, her attitude turned back to usual. Nothing changed.

Since Rhode achieved his purpose, he didn’t say anything more. In fact, he was already troubled enough by Anne. Perhaps, it was because she was raised as a beast since young, she totally lacked some common knowledge about this world. It had to be said that even the most common girl absolutely wouldn’t think about showing her body in front of a man just for a few slices of bread. However, Anne didn’t seem to care about this. Although her adoptive father had taught her about shame, she was only reserved in public. For example, when they went for a mission and there were a lot of men, she never jumped into the river to take a bath naked or something. However, those rules didn’t seem to work very well, especially in front of people she trusted and loved. Rhode had been hearing Marlene’s complain that she couldn’t get a hold of Anne. Anne was always running around naked in the room. What if she was seen by the men?

This problem couldn’t be solved by words. Fortunately, Anne had thought about it to some extent, so Rhode didn’t say anything more. After saying about the matter regarding the Black Pine Ruins, he left to his own room.

“Whoa…”

And only then did Anne heave a long sigh of relief. Following that, she hugged the bread and went back to bed.

She looked blankly at the ceiling while eating the bread in her hands.

Although Anne got what she wanted, she didn’t know why she was still thinking about something else.

It was Rhode’s touch from before.

Like Rhode had expected, Anne wasn’t really sure what would happen between a man and woman. She had curiously asked people in the mercenary group, but most of them only smiled at her and said that she’d understand it when she grew up. In the mercenary group, the big sister also taught her many strange tricks; as long as she did according to what they said, those man would obediently listen to her words—but on one condition: that man must be the man who she liked very much.

Anne couldn’t understand and was also uninterested in it. She had an instinct that it was dangerous for her; especially those men who were looking at her as if they wanted to eat her. It made her feel really uncomfortable. The reason she did something like this today was totally accidental; Anne was only accustomed to being naked inside her own room and Rhode happened to visit her. Originally, she intended to wear her clothes first, but she didn’t know why she suddenly remembered her comrades’ suggestion, so she immediately did it.

Of course, the final result was totally different from what she had imagined. Rhode didn’t obediently listen to her order after seeing her body just like they said. However Anne found something new… For the first time in her life, Rhode made her feel something she had never felt before. There’s seemed to be magic in Rhode’s hand; it brought an extraordinary comfort. She immediately felt weak after she was touched by him, and there was an inexplicable feeling that sprouted inside her heart. Although she didn’t know what it was, but she was really looking forward to its next development.

Unfortunately… it hurt.

Thinking until here, Anne couldn’t help but stretched out her hand to rub her chest. Although she also felt comfortable touching herself, when Rhode touched her, it felt ticklish and hot.

If she could let him touch him again, it would certainly be very comfortable…

Anne looked at the ceiling before her and fell into deep thought.
